Replaced now with lethal injection, this chair was on the 4th floor of Georgia State Prison, Reidsville, GA, on Death Row. Handmade by a man whose fate was decided ultimately on the day of his execution, this chair was transported with Death Row mass murderer Carl Isaacs early on the morning of the only escape from GSP’s death row. The 4 other inmates in on the escape made it out, though one, Troy Greg, was beaten to death before they were recaptured – in a Outlaw Motorcycle Gang clubhouse

The original Georgia electric chair was not constructed by an inmate but rather by a local Milledgeville resident named George Edward Barnes in 1924.
